We are a team of highly trained board certified dental specialists who are dedicated to ensuring everyone receives the best possible care in a clean, safe and respectful environment that creates a positive impact for the children of New Hampshire.

When you visit one of our pediatric dental and orthodontic offices, your child's smile is our top priority. Our office includes Dr. Roger Achong, Dr. Patrick Capozzi, Dr. Danielle Hinton, Dr. Elliot Chiu, and Dr. Michael Capozzi, who along with a caring staff, are all dedicated to providing your child with the personalized, gentle care that he or she deserves.

During your first visit to our office we want to take the time to get acquainted and gather information. This includes a thorough examination and possibly taking x-rays we feel may be required to make a complete diagnosis. At this time we will also discuss with you the nature of any necessary dental care.

We have ways of explaining procedures to children, being honest and presenting it in a manner that will not frighten them. If you child asks, will it hurt? We feel it is wise to say that the Dentist is your friend and will be very gentle with you. Avoid phrases such as it wont hurt and that wasnt so bad.

Pediatric Dentists, like our Drs. Achong, P. Capozzi, Hinton, Chiu and M. Capozzi, specialize in the treatment and prevention of dental disease, as well as the overall oral health of children. Through extra years of schooling, training, experience, and certification, a pediatric dentist is uniquely qualified to treat the dental needs of infants, children, adolescents and those with special needs.

A pediatric patient not only has a different dentition than adults but he/she may have specific dental and behavioral needs that are unique to a child. These needs may include orthodontics, sealants, fluoride applications or home treatments, or just simply education in oral hygiene. In addition to treating existing dental problems, our office focuses on prevention through patient and parent education.

We like to feel that you and your child do not come to our office to have their cavities fixed but rather to prevent them. We strive to provide all of the educational tools necessary for our patients to enjoy a cavity-free future.

Dr. Nyberg not only completed her Doctor of Dentistry degree but went on to receive her Masters in Orthodontics. She spent an additional two years in school studying smiles of children and adults and ways to improve them using braces and orthodontic appliances. Dr. Nyberg is a Platinum Invisalign Provider.

Our team at Concord Orthodontics is devoted to beautiful smiles and has orthodontic solutions to fit every budget and lifestyle. Our fees vary with the complexity of each unique smile but easy payment plans can be arranged to suit. During your first orthodontic visit we will carefully review your unique smile and show you similar cases Dr. Nyberg has worked on so you can understand what is achievable.

PLEASE READ, GO ELSEWHERE! We brought our 4 and 5 year old here for dental care and had a traumatic and overly aggressive experience. Although the staff is friendly and the office is bright and clean, they over treat and ultimately care most about their bottom line. We were told my 5 year old needed a root canal for a cavity on a baby tooth, even though she had no infection and the nerve and tooth were presenting with zero pain. After multiple attempts to numb the tooth, they couldn't and ended up finishing the root canal while my 5 year old writhed in pain. So began her fear of dentists. Not long after, Dr. Achong told us our second child would need a baby tooth pulled, one or 2 root canals and several fillings. We were so alarmed and couldn't understand how this was possible. (Their teeth are not neglected and were brushing/mouthwash). We knew we had to get a 2nd opinion, even though that was inconvenient. Sure enough, the new dentist said no need to pull the baby tooth, didn't even need a root canal. Capped one tooth, did 2 small fillings and used silver diamine to halt the tiny cavities. Less is more! We learned the hard way that just because the office is friendly, clean and located in a well to do area, it doesn't always translate into honesty and best interest/care of the patient. We have since heard of similar experiences from classmates/friends, and knew we had to share our experience. Montshire Pediatric Dentistry in Claremont and Upper Valley Pediatric Dentistry are both caring and conservative and not looking to drain your wallet!

Always a welcoming place to go to. Very professional and friendly . Brought my daughter here and was late and the front desk lady was still welcoming us and said it's all good come on in ,. I've been late to some doctors appointment and I was never greeted like I was in this dentist place but I got the mad looking faces stared lol. Love this dentist place and the people working there even though that I don't know them all names but I know them by how they work and greeted with professionalism.

We had an excellent visit with the Dentist, who was very kind with my very young child. Would like to hear back a little sooner in regards to scheduling work but it's understandable that there's a delay due to Covid.

This place is amazing. Super kind people and they truly care. They go out of their way everytime we are there. They always go the extra mile when it's really needed. Very grateful for this office for my daughter. From 6 months on, I had my daughter going to the concord office. Until we moved up here and they opened this office. She's been here for years and I can say with certainty we won't be switching. She'll continue until she ages out. Recently my daughter had an issue from a filling. Not a fault of the dentist who put it in but just a natural thing that can happen. She was ina pain for quite awhile. We just went in a few days ago to replace the filling to get a better sense of what was going on. She left there and with a super positive smile said the pain was finally gone! They wernt sure of the issue so they started at the beginning. And luckily that was the fix. But they had a plan and they helped her. I'm very grateful for everyone there. My experience with dentists in general has never been good. Not the most understanding or polite people. But here they really are! The speak to me and my daughter to make sure we understand and agree with all treatments. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!

I came here cause I was informed they had a dentist that specialized in kids with special needs. My child has oral aversion (gtube feds) and a sensory disorder. The girls in the front were great and the tech was very knowledgeable and understanding. The dentist came and i disgusted my concerns. He straight up told me to hold down my child and force teeth brushing. My child does therapy 3x a week practices teeth cleaning and eating. 2 therapists and doctors always told me to keep teeth brushing and eating a happy and positive experience. I explained his condition again and he continued to show me ways to hold down my child. I will not be returning. 213$ later for nothing.

My three year old had his first visit today and I was very impressed with office and staff. It is clean and welcoming. Every person we interacted with was understanding and professional. They know it takes a few visits to get comfortable and they didn't push him at all. They could have done x-rays or filled the one cavity he had but they told me to wait, and gave me instructions to help at home, so definitely not a money grab. Would recommend to anyone local.

My son has been coming here since he was 4b he's now 12.5 years old & he's always gotten wonderful care, they work very very well with the NH Medicaid dental benefits for minors. The staff is always kind & understanding and they have helped to make going to the dentist way less scary & stressful for the both of us, They also do not try to "tooth shame" either the parent or the child when extensive work is needed AKA when my kid just recently came in for his first visit in over 2years, they did a cleaning, fluoride sealants & exam, he needs extensive work on 18 teeth, but they didn't waste time making us feel bad, they put a plan together to fix it & they get right on it, the we were able to schedule his next in a little less then 2weeks, love love love New London Pediatric Dentistry!!!

The Dr. did 5 fillings on my 6 year old kid a year ago. I was told that these fillings would protect his teeth till they fell out. 1 year later, I am told. Those same 5 teeth all have to be re filled/ capped. He claims it's because my kid doesn't floss enough. If that was the case... why are there no new cavity's??? His medical explanation," I don't have a crystal ball." Un-professional and only cares about the all mighty dollar!!! Hey Doc, you should have done your job right the first time! I highly suggest looking for a different dental office!!! This guy is a crook!!

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The hygienists are fantastic with children and the dentist we see is great. Our children never fear going to the dentist office. Thank you for changing the way we view dentistry! I only wish I could be a patient here as well!

Rude staff. Very very pushy and rude when it came to my daughter having a tooth taken out. Very harsh and had no patience with her. Would NEVER recommend this place. Be careful with Dr. Achong.. I questioned some of the procedures they wanted to do to my daughter and he got extremely defensive.
